| PDF Xpress for .NET - User Guide > How To > Convert PDF to Image |
To create an image-only PDF document:
![]() |
PDF Xpress™ does not offer viewing capabilities of images. ImagXpress® can be used in conjunction with PDF Xpress to provide image decompression, viewing, and format conversion. |
To render a page of a PDF document to bitmap, dib, encapsulated postscript, or data, use the "RenderPage" methods (e.g., RenderPageToDib, RenderPageToEps, RenderPageToImageData, RenderPageToBitmap).
| C# Example |
Copy Code
|
|---|---|
// This code demonstrates converting a single page PDF file to an image file
Accusoft.PdfXpressSdk.PdfXpress pdfXpress1 = null;
RenderOptions renderOpts = null;
try
{
pdfXpress1 = new PdfXpress();
pdfXpress1.Initialize();
renderOpts = new RenderOptions();
int index = pdfXpress1.Documents.Add("C:\\test.pdf");
renderOpts.ProduceDibSection = false;
int pageIndex = 0;
imageXView.Image = ImageX.FromBitmap(imagXpress, pdfXpress1.Documents[index].RenderPageToBitmap(pageIndex, renderOpts));
}
catch (System.Exception)
{
}
finally
{
if (null != pdfXpress1)
{
pdfXpress1.Dispose();
